    Good job Maltz.

    How's that feel, inventing blitzkrieg 400 years early?

    Enjoy your barbs at the game system too worked in as part of the battle.

    Great story, well fought, but don't try to tell me you don't use save-loads when you recount a series of flawless ninja assasinations. I have used many ninjas in my many campaigns, and never could I imagine that the same 2 ninja:

    #1 Killed the ronin general in the castle
    #2 Killed the takeda emissary
    #3 Killed one Musashi general
    #4 Killed the other Musashi general
    #5 Killed Uesegi emissary
    #6 Killed Hojo emissary
    #7 Killed Hojo general (rank 1)

    (ninja now said to be honor 4, which is 8 kills without fail, yet as you can see I only count seven, and these seven shared by two ninjas, not one)

    #8 Killed Shimosa general
    #9 Hitachi general (rank 2)

    All this is the first 13 turns with no lost ninjas, and a 8-kill ninja by before turn 12?

    I don't believe in UFOs either .

    Well if you go after trhe right atrgets you can do it. Like getting the emissaries first and then the H0 generals. I dont think that Maltz has really got any high ranking kills. yet.

    about the ninja issue:

    Indeed I was surprised too - yet this time, I got a better luck than I used to have save-loads before!

    Sometimes you fail even if the success rate is 83%.

    Besides the first kill of the rank -1 general which was 50%, this time I never tried anything less than 66% success rate. Yet I admit I was very lucky in the Ninja issue. I didn't attempt to kill enemy daimyos or heirs - if I succeed again I will feel very guilty

    Actually when I was preparing for the snapshot of pressing F2, I was praying for them to fail this time - or the people in sword dojo will start to doubt my honesty! Yet they suceeded, again and again! (and I cannot break my promise of no-save-loads to make them fail this time) You will see in my chapt 4 I never use them anymore. (Pretty sad for a lengendary ninja, huh? )

    Thanks for kaltes' valid complain as I would like to swear sometimes, too!

    --

    That's life! The more we cheat, the more shits happen.

    p.s. About that rank 4 ninja.. It was strange -- after the first kill of the general in Owari (1930 Summer), it suddenly jumped to H3!!! I didn't bring out this as it was not really in the story, but maybe we can talk about the possible senarios for this to happen.

    By the way, to make a rank 4 you really don't need 8 kills. The higher the rank you kill, the faster your promotion is seems. (Maybe I am wrong) Also, I didn't mention all of my sucessful kills if they are not really related to the story. For example, I remember that I knocked out one or two extra Hojo rank 0 general using that H3 ninja without mentioning...

    I hope you still have chapters 7-14 of the Oda saga stowed away somewhere - if you don't have the web space, someone else might...

    The last two chapters, 8 and 9 are also done. Shorter than expected - as I mentioned earlier, only the horde on the east will be heart-breaking enough to be the finale

    Yet I was lucky enough to get some interesting stuff in the last two chapters. For the first time in STW I watched my ally fight for me, and I stabbed their back.. wahahaha!

    Chapter 8 plz enter here



    Chapter 9 (Ending) plz enter here

    Maltz, or should I say, "James Clavell of the Dojo" , guess I've got my reading assignment: Have to catch up from Friday and chapter 3.

    Who's next?
    “You know the sound of thunder Mrs. Garret."
    "Ofcourse"
    "Can you imagine that sound if I asked you to?"
    "Yes I can Mr. Hickok."
    "Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder.”
